Preliminary Plan of Subdivision Review

This consolidates tracts of land and/or divides a tract of land into building lots, streets, and open space and is required in all zones. It shows a proposed development’s relationship to its neighbors.

Contains specific lot and street layout and includes details such as utilities and the adequacy of public infrastructure

Must conform with environmental and transportation regulations

Can be approved, approved with conditions, or denied by the Planning Board—approval is required before the lots can be recorded in the land records or a building permit can be issued

Record Plat

This is the formal recordation of a land subdivision and contains all the agreements of the public improvements that will be made on a piece of property.

The Applicant must contact the Development Applications and Regulatory Coordination Division and receive approval of the proposed subdivision name, lot and block designations and each street name before submitting application

The Applicant must submit a separate application for each plat even if the applicant proposes multiple plats on a single property

The staff cannot accept applications before the Planning Board takes final action on the preliminary plan application and on a site plan application
